Ten Compressor Modules and Their Character

The plugin groups ten compressor modules in one interface. Among them, U670 is based on the Fairchild 670, with new attack ballistics and a tweaked warmth factor. Moo Tube is an all-tube design emulation with reworked mid-range sensitivity and recovery times. The SST'76 is described as a fast, reactive solid-state design suited to drums and percussive sources.

Other modules cover different styles. iComp sets attack and release automatically from the threshold and ratio values. Opto-C and Opto-L use McDSP-designed key signal circuits. D357 is the most aggressive module in the collection and includes an LED-style gain reduction meter.

Workflow, Sidechain and Output Behavior

Each module uses a consistent control layout, so switching between designs keeps the workflow familiar. Sidechain support lets you key compression from another signal.

The plugin uses zero-latency algorithms and an anti-clip output stage topology. Processing is done in double precision, and analog saturation modeling is included. Mono and stereo versions are available, so you can match the plugin to your channel layout.

What do I need to authorize the plugin?

McDSP plugins require an iLok2 or iLok3 USB Smart Key, or a free iLok License Manager account with iLok Cloud for activation. Each v7 plugin includes two activations per authorization.
